Rachel Barker England: Hello From Korea

First days of the New Year. Resolutions?? Last years didn't exactly come to fruition. They were things like "hoover more".
This year, well, I could list good qualities that I need to acquire, but then would it be the same as the housework?
What comes to mind currently is I should strive to accept the weather regardless. I struggle with these monochrome winter days, the colour locked up in sub-zero temperatures. Black trees and iron hard earth, frozen grey light. I am not made for winter. Heaven for me is waking up early in the morning and knowing I can wear shorts and a t shirt all day. So I must remember that the days will get longer and lighter and I can revel in the heat again.
